Hit 500 tracker blocks and it changed how I see surveillance

I started blocking trackers on all my devices about 6 months ago. Last week I hit 500 individual tracker blocks across my phone and laptop. That number shocked me because I only visit maybe 15 sites regularly. Half of those blocks came from news sites alone, just loading articles. It made me realize how much data we give away without thinking. How many tracker blocks are you all sitting at on your home networks?

I mean I used to think blocking trackers was kind of paranoid, but 500 blocks is wild and honestly it kinda woke me up too.

500 blocks? Man that's insane, I've never had that many.
